Preview, Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup, Round 4, Formula 1 race in Budapest (Hungary)



A year ago at the Hungaroring, Dylan Pereira won the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup race, beating Ayhancan Güven across the line. This coming weekend (30 July to 1 August 2021) the international one-make racing series with the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup returns to Budapest.


The Luxembourg racer Pereira and the Porsche Junior from Turkey are determined to repeat their 2020 success. In the three races contested so far this season, both drivers have been plagued by bad luck. As it currently stands, Pereira lies sixth in the points’ standings, with his teammate at BWT Lechner Racing ranking tenth overall.



Last year at the Hungaroring, Pereira and Güven had Dutchman Larry ten Voorde (Team GP Elite) under control with the current championship leader finishing third on the 4.38-kilometre Formula 1 circuit. Even now, the reigning champion does not necessarily have to win.


After already scoring two victories in the ca. 375 kW (510 PS) 911 GT3 Cup, ten Voorde is presently twelve points ahead of New Zealander Jaxon Evans (Martinet by Alméras) in the overall standings. French rookie Dorian Boccolacci (Martinet by Alméras) and Germany’s Leon Köhler, who drives for Nebulus Racing by Huber, are currently tied for third.



“Experience has shown that, after Monaco, the Hungaroring is the second slowest track on the Supercup calendar. The many relatively slow corners demand a very clean, smooth driving style. What’s more, this is our first time competing there with the new 911 GT3 Cup, which is a touch more powerful than the previous Supercup car. Thus, the teams are currently lacking any concrete data for the suspension setup and the rear-wing adjustment. Being careful on the throttle is also important. I’m curious to see which driver will best tackle this task,” says Oliver Schwab, Project Manager Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup.



Round four of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup gets underway on Sunday, 1 August 2021, at 12:10 pm CEST. The TV channel Sky Sport and the streaming service f1tv.formula1.com provide a live broadcast. Fans can also follow the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup action at any time on Twitter (@PorscheSupercup / @PorscheRaces), Instagram (@PorscheSupercup) and Facebook (@PorscheSupercup).

Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup relies on Esso Renewable Racing Fuel


Porsche and ExxonMobil are implementing a two-stage strategy in the introduction of renewable fuels in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup. This season, the racing vehicles will be powered by a blend of bio-based fuel. This advanced biofuel is obtained from food waste products.



Additional components are blended in to enable the required fuel properties and combustion behaviour. In 2022, the next step will be to introduce synthetically manufactured eFuel.


This Esso Renewable Racing Fuel is anticipated to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 85 per cent, when blended to current market fuel standards for today’s passenger vehicles (1). The partnership between Porsche and ExxonMobil aims to gain valuable experiences to find pathways toward potential future consumer adoption.

(1) The GHG emissions reduction stated here relates to the comparison of the calculated carbon footprint of product (CFP) for the renewable components in the PMSC race fuel versus a 94 grams CO2e/MJ of EU Renewable Energy Directive II baseline comparator. Emissions reduction of up to 85% from renewable components vs. conventional are based on carbon footprint of product calculations conducted under ISO 14067 methodology, effectively referenced as a well-to-wheels boundary, taking into account the feedstock, production, transportation, and combustion related emissions to manufacture the blend of renewable components mentioned here. A functional unit of 1 MJ of fuels was used for the comparison.
